suparagent is an agent framework - Open-source, self-hosted alternative to Grok Bot, Claude Duet, OpenAI Dots, Meta Muse, Instinct, Manus Cue: AI coworkers (named agents) with instructions, memory, routines, their own isolated computer, and your approval before they act.

OverviewLink to this section

Create named agents, give each a job and workspace, and bring them together to complete real tasks. Suparagent keeps conversations, memory, routines, and approvals in one place. Use the desktop app or host the server yourself; the hosted service is a separate product.

Bring your own engine and provider account. Suparagent does not include a model or model subscription.

The desktop app runs from a source checkout. It needs Node.js 22 or newer, uv, and at least one engine available on the same computer. For a CLI engine, install it and sign in before opening Open Duet. You can also configure an API-based engine in Settings → Engines. Docker is only needed for the optional isolated agent computers.

On first launch, choose an engine, workspace, and approval mode. Then:

  1. Open Settings → Engines and confirm an engine is ready. 2. Create an agent with a name, a clear job, and a workspace. 3. Start a chat. Choose Ask first to pause for approval before actions that need it. 4. Add teammates or create a routine when you want to split up or repeat work.

suparagent is open-source, written primarily in Python, with 7,028 GitHub stars under the Apache 2.0 license. It was last updated on 2026-11-11.
